Not cool New York Times.
In the flurry of getting out Golden Globes red carpet photos, the New York Times captioned a photo with TV legend Norman Lear, “Norman Lear and a guest.” The only problem is that Lear’s “guest” is Rita Moreno, who has a career spanning 70 years and is one of 12 people to have won an EGOT, an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony award. She also won a Golden Globe in 1962 for “West Side Story” while we’re at it.
And Lear noticed, tweeting back at the Times with his own, amended caption.
New York Times does not use Rita Moreno’s name, instead calls her “a guest.”
